Which among the following statute gives the right to the victim to prefer an appeal against any adverse order passed by the trial court ?

  • A.Code of Criminal Procedure
  • B.The Unlawful Prevention of Activities Act
  • C.The Indian Penal Code
  • D.All the above

Answer: A

The Code of Criminal Procedure gives the victim the right to prefer an appeal against an order of acquittal, a conviction for a lesser offence or inadequate compensation, by the proviso added to section 372 in 2009. The other options are not statutes of procedure that grant the right, and the Indian Penal Code defines offences, so the answer is A. The victim's right to appeal was added because earlier only the State could appeal against an acquittal, and victims had little remedy.
